Upgrade for copperhead front hatch

Bored last night so I did a little work on the boat. Added a gas shock. Made a mount that attaches to the hatch latch so less drillng of holes in my boat. I like it so much I will do the livewell soon.

Yep seen the friction hinges. Like them alot. With the weight of the front hatch I didn't want to go that route. Also wanted to keep the clean look it has know with the piano hinge, and leave the boat as stock as possible. I will put them on the list for the next boat.
